Make a Wish
A friend of mine told me about intent bracelets. I purchased an intent bracelet to reinforce the intention that I’ve set for myself this year which is trust. I’ve been trusting my intuition lately which has meant dialing into that small inner voice that’s easy to dismiss, ignore, drown out and overrule with our “rational” thoughts. We can rationalize anything that our gut tries to tell us. We can talk ourselves out of listening to our instinct. But I’m not doing that. I’m setting my intention and trusting the universe. I’m also checking in with the universe and am vigilant for signs.
Many years ago, my friend Jeanette excitedly exclaimed, “11:11! Make a wish!” It was the first I’d ever heard of that. Much later, I learned that numerologists believe that this is related to the concept of synchronicity. Doreen Virtue writes, “Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts are manifesting instantly into form. Focus only upon your desires and not upon your fears.” Virtue also believes numerical number sequences to be a message from our guardian angels. After a valiant battle against breast cancer, Jeanette passed away in 2008. I like to believe that she’s helping me catch the clock when it’s 11:11 since she’s the one that first brought my attention to that all those years ago. I don’t know… but it’s comforting to think about a group of people we loved rooting for us on the other side. And there’s so many of them which marries the comfort with sadness. This post sounds melancholy but it really isn’t. It’s filled with trust for the universe that it, along with the people I have loved, has my back. It’s filled with hope. After all, “make a wish!”
